About Tammara

Tammara Sand brings a decade of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, holding both LMSW and LCSW credentials. She approaches clinical work with compassion and attentiveness, helping people navigate depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, trauma, and a wide range of life stressors.

Background and approach

Her background includes supporting clients through issues such as addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, career transitions, and coping with chronic illness and pain. Her practice draws on evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral therapy, emotion-focused work, mindful practices, and EMDR when appropriate.

Tammara emphasizes a client-centered stance that prioritizes each person’s goals and personal strengths while bringing practical strategies for symptom management and emotional processing. She combines empathic listening with concrete tools so clients can build resilience and make meaningful changes in daily life.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skill-building, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday difficulties. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and creating a collaborative relationship where a person’s goals and values guide the work, supporting self-exploration and emotional growth. Emotionally-focused therapy concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses and attachment patterns to improve how someone relates to themselves and others, which can be helpful for relationship and intimacy-related struggles.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions using video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and for engaging in therapy from different locations. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives and to continue care through transitions, while allowing therapists to use CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, emotionally-focused interventions, and other techniques in ways that suit each client’s routine and comfort.
